The Nuer people are a Nilotic ethnic group primarily inhabiting the Nile Valley. They are concentrated in South Sudan, and also constitute a majority in Ethiopia's Gambela Region. They speak the Nuer language, which belongs to the Nilotic language family. One of the largest ethnic groups in southern Sudan, the Nuer people are pastoralists who herd cattle for a living. Their cattle serve as companions and define their lifestyle.
